"A typical mass-market car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Refused to start from cold.
L.H. front speaker stopped working.
Reversing lights don't work.
Parking lights fused.
Climate control lights fused.
Seat belt / airbag warning light stayed on.
Uses oil excessively.
General comments?
Generally the car is a solid, cavernous vehicle that accommodates a family.
However it drives like a tank and is noisy.
